The train to London will leave in November

'The train to London will leave in November,' said Clive in June.

At our regular TGIF early doors meeting tonight, thoughts turned to our intrepid artist, now in London and at the mercy of linear schedules.  The last linear schedule was high-jacked by pain and the dentist.

Much has been planned by Sarah, organiser extraordinaire and Clive, patron extraordinaire.  This excursion to the bright lights is the third or fourth to decide on a venue for the exhibition, when dates and place will be fixed: another linear happening that will require synchronising!

Work in progress: Square on the Hypotenuse

Johnny's studio is bursting with works in progress and much finished work is in store and safely behind glass.  'Once a painting is behind glass, I am forced to leave it alone,' he says.

What began as a retrospective concept, is now embracing new works.  'I've bought a lot of coloured paints Gill,' Johnny informed me last week, 'I'm thinking about bright colours!  Phil (brother) is good with bright colours - but I'll probably end up going black!' he laughs.

Pythagoras has been a hot topic this week.
